Hi,
Anyone familiar in configuring linux ftpd to listen to a second tcp port
besides the default port number 21?
I would like to:

Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 16:08:59 GMT
We were provided the tulip driver by CNET in order to use their Pro110
NIC under kernel 2.0.36. Worked fine.
After upgrading to 2.2.1 the NIC compiles and is recognized (ie
appears as an eth device) but we get errors when trying to TX.
Has anyone successfully used the tulip driver under 2.2.1
Has anyone successfully used a CNETPro110 NIC under 2.2.1.
Thanks,

Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 10:54:48 -0600
I have a dial-up server working with TCP/IP and IPX. My problem is that
the win 95/98/NT box I dial in from cannot see the windows network when
I have the IPX protocol running on the link. I can browse the Novel
network fine. If I switch off the IPX, I can see the windows network
fine. IPX seems to eat my TCP/IP.
I'm using redhat 5.2 with the new 2.2.0 kernel. Mgetty is configuring my
modem and I'm using calderas ipxripd package for redhat. Everything
would be just great if only I could browse the network and see both the
novell lan and the windows lan.
Has anybody any ideas on what's happening here.

You don't need to know the dial up ip, diald & pppd set up the route info
correctly.
Your client machines just need the ip of your linux box as a gateway and if
you are masquerading use a line like:
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
where 192.168.1.0 is your local net, oh and don't forget to turn on ip
forwarding - in redhat that's in /etc/sysinit/network

Hi,
I'm running RedHat linux 5.2 (kernel 2.0.35) and I'm trying to increase the
number of file descriptors available to a user.
I've tried the command 'limit descriptors 1024' but its fails with 'limit:
descriptors: can't set limit'. After much testing, i have discovered that the
limit appears to be 256.
I'm trying to write some server software that clients can log into using
sockets, and because of the 256 limit on file descriptors, I can't get enough
logins.
Is there any way to increase this limit?
Cheers,
Rob.

For me the biggest advantage is speed. I surf, download, whatever about
2x as fast w/ linux going into an NT server. on a unix/linux server
speeds are even faster.

I have no idea whether or not this is the cause of the problem, but
as near as I can determine from the source code, your conf.modules
should look like:
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
That's what I'm using and I am at least connecting successfully. The
"no compressor" messages above seem to suggest that your configuration
isn't doing what you want.

Linux doesn't care about the format of a remote partition. Share it
normally, and use SMBMOUNT to mount it from Linux. If you want to mount
it in the local machine, get a recent kernel that supports FAT32.

I assume this means something you cat speak postscript to via
lpr. Check out the lpd manual pages and set up a printer that prints
to /dev/null. Use an input filter that sends nothing to the stanard
output and its input to nprint. Optionally use something such as
magicfilter to figur out the input format and turn it into
postscript assuming it is something else.
See the printing HOWTO for detials of setting up various version of
lpd. I personally use LPRng to a local printer and will do so again once
I have refilled my ink chartridge. My inkjet widget magicfilter
configuration uses postscript as an intermediate format for most
formats.

A nfs sever can be used to export directories to localhost which can
then be mounted elsewhere in the filesystem. Been there, done
that. Sadly that box seems to have some nfsd stability problems so
will get upgraded to 2.2.x and knfsd as soon as someone gets the
chance. I think it will fix the boxes stability problems (the hard
problem is how to trigger the current problems for testing purposes).

Easiest way is to use inetd; You can simply add another line for the exrta
port you're using. Like:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/wu.ftpd -a
ftp2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/wu.ftpd -a
And then add an extra line for ftp2 in /etc/services too.

Subject: Relaying fails after 2.0.27--> 2.0.34 upgrade

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a Linux box connected to an ISP via modem/PPP, and
locally to a 192.168.2.xxx LAN of Win95 PCs and others.
Under Slackware96 (2.0.27) it allowed my users to relay
mail out to the internet. When I upgraded to the
version from the summer (2.0.34, sendmail 8), I was
pleased to see firewalling and samba installed, but
the system does not relay outgoing mail from the
local network. I get the 550 "relaying denied" error
message from sendmail.
What configuration change do I make to sendmail (or
elsewhere) which allows outgoing e-mail from the
local LAN? Users can receive mail just fine (they're
just polling the POP server).
A Web check pointed out some anti-Spam routines for
RedHat, but I'm not sure that's what I need.

You need to do 3 things:
1. Tell the Winders box to speak TCP/IP
2. Educate winders about the IP numbers of the RH box
3. Run samba on the RH box. A copy is included on the RH CD.

Excellent!
I'm running a system with just linux on it. But I have another computer
with Winblows 98. What would be a good strategy for getting KDE onto the
linux system? I'm having the same problem originally posted. I have to
use network configuration to activate the ppp0 and dial out then it hangs
up and I can't connect.
(course I'm way at the beginning of all this. I still need to upgrade
Xwin to run the TNT card and get an SB64 working for sound.)
Any adivice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

um.. linux does not allow a .0 in its ips
the rule regarding them is that a 0 signifies a broadcast, not a node
windows allows it coz microsoft ignored the rule because windows does not deal
with broadcast packets and so forth
i had to change my ips when i switch from wingate to ipmasq on linux for this
reason
my machines are now
192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2 etc
and teh subnet is the same, 255.255.255.0 because it is a broadcast subnet
i hope this helps

Either that or go to mt-0.5b which fixes the problem. There should be a

Assuming you don't have to patch anything, etc. to go from src rpm to

rpm --rebuild <source>.rpm
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/<binary>.rpm

However, I cant ftp or use samba. If I try to ftp from windows to Linux,

With samba, I set up the smb.conf to make available resources e.g.
